In this episode I talk to Adam Hootnick about never using his law degree and pursuing a media and filmmaking career instead.
Adam is a graduate of Harvard Law School, but never did anything with his law degree. Instead, he went to work as a production assistant for MSNBC one day before September 11th, 2001. That was a very interesting time to start a job in New York city.
Adam is now an award-winning filmmaker based in Austin, Texas. His most recent documentary, What Carter Lost, was named one of the year's best documentaries by Sports Illustrated.
Adam has directed a number of documentaries and also does commercial film work such as projects with Serena Williams for Lincoln, Jeff Gordon for NASCAR, and US Olympians for United Airlines, and many more.
Needless to say, this is a very different career path, and I hope it will inspire you to follow their own career dream.
